Hardware overclocking pci-e slot frequency in Bios

ZeroOne · Aug 3, 2008, 09:15 PM

Hello

I have an asrock mobo , in the bios i have an option CPU and PCIE overclocking.

Options
1. Auto
2.100 Mhz
3. Sync With Cpu

I have my Cpu over clocked Intel E6600 from 2.2Ghz @2.8 Ghz

Witch of the 3 options should i choose, what is the fastest PCI-E clock?

Video Card Asus 9600GT.

Thanks In advanced

Unless you have separate clock speed configuration choices for PCIe x16 and PCIe connections, I would leave it at 100MHz. Otherwise it would effect things like SATA drives and would lead to problems.

OK Thanks for the reply, i keep it on 100 Mhz to avoid trouble.

It won't actually affect the SATA drives at all on modern chipsets but its still not a great idea to go tweaking it.... you won't see any appreciable gains in performance but you'll likely see more crashing
